Week of July 31, 2017Welcome to our first staff Bulletin of 2017-2018. As always I try to consolidate important info into a single Bulletin to avoid multiple emails. Please read and act on the Bulletin each week. That mitigates the need for long faculty meetings and helps eliminate confusion and reduce stress.

Start of school notes

1) If you need a key to something, please ask Ceci in the main office (68) who will either check out the key or make a note saying we need that key.

2) If your room hasn't been cleaned please email Kellie who will check on its status.

3) Don't worry yet about number of student desks in your room. Next weekend after we have a better sense of numbers, we will have a crew put the number of desks in your room to match whatever your biggest class is at that point.

4) Please don't just discard unwanted furniture outside. Email Kellie to ask about what should happen with it.

5) If you have anything in need of repair, please email Kellie. We will do our best to address all of this by next weekend. Or at least tell you the best guess timeline to repair or replace.

6) Be advised most rooms are used for orientation Tuesday and Wednesday from 3-8 pm. You can be in your room working if you like, but realize chaos will reign in those spaces listed on the orientation chart I sent out Friday.

7) If you have technology needs, email techsupport@novamil.org. 8) If you have office supply needs, please see Ceci. 9) If you need a piece of furniture other than student desks, email Kellie.

10) If you log into PowerSchool and notice 532 students in each of your classes, don't freak out. There is still balancing going on and we anticipate a fairly large no show rate as usual. There are 650 kids on the books right now but we only staffed for 570. We will make adjustments if more show up than anticipated. Please be patient.

11) If you need teacher editions or teacher materials email Diane French. 12) If you need help with PowerSchool, see Mila or Diane.

13) If you don't have a copy of your course curriculum maps and benchmarks please email Laura. The courses for which we don't have maps and benchmarks include Art, French, TA,Medic, and Senior FOCUS. All others should be accessible from Laura and will get posted to the website. Trish is helping direct curriculum and benchmarks for LOC and PE so if you have questions about those please see her.

14) Please email me if other questions or concerns arise. Be proactive and don't ask others who don't know or have inaccurate information.

I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow for breakfast served beginning at 0730 in the MPR prior to our 0800 on time start with team building run by JayR.

Per Ardua Ad Astra. 3

Week of August 7, 2017THANK YOU to everyone for your participation in the PD week, and to everyone who participated in BMAIT, as well as to everyone who helped during entrance camp, Camp Pendleton, and summer school. It was indeed a busy summer, but our students go so much out of all of these experiences, and it is because of caring adults who make these wonderful things happen.

If you ever would like to see some colleague thanked in the staff bulletin for a job well done, pleae email me with details.

SEATS FOR LOC CLASSES: Kellie and her crew are working this weekend to ensure there are enough seats for your biggest classes (on paper) but we are NOT putting extra desks in rooms for LOC classes at this point. Until settles down with enrollment, please use folding chairs in LOC classes that are larger than the number of available seats. Kellie and her crew will be standing by during periods 1 and 7 the first day to help secure folding chairs if you end up needing them.

Nancy Fung's masterful CPM classroom climate with amazing student work displayed on DAY ONE! Ceci and Jio masterfully handling a barrage of parents throughout the week PE classes (Thanks to Russell and all PE teachers) juggling scarves, doing dynamic stretching, and having

moderate to vigorous physical activity for much of their daily class periods

NEWS AND REMINDERS:

1. Back to school night will occur Wednesday August 23 from 5-7. It is a B Schedule day, so folks will have some time to prepare and/or relax prior to the start. The current plan is NOT to have parents go to classrooms. Instead, we are thinking of asking each department to create some fun lessons/activities to be implemented/modeled with students and for families in the quad. For instance...

o a CPM themed activity for families to do to learn about our math programo a book sale and book talk by the English departmento a science activity by science teachers/studentso an LOC demonstration such as teaching parents facing movement and having a parent drill downo a blank world map activity for families to find locationso PE wellness activities for families to tryo Spanish and French intro lessons

The plan at present includes having these set up around the quad by departments with the teachers and students running the stations. Parents woul get a copy of their students' schedules and be able to meet teachers at the various departmental activity stations. They would get a "passport" signed/stapmed by teachers. They would also have passport loctations such as athletics, transportation, YPI, College and Career Center, PAC information, AND THE ANNUAL CAMPAIGN TALK in the MPR which would repeat itself every 20 minutes or so at 5, 5:20, 5:40, 6, 6:20 and 6:40.

Please discuss in your Wednesday Department meetings what you'd like to do and get a plan ready with students to help. The more students that help, the more likely we are to have parents here to see their kids!

2. STRIKE TEAMS - Operation Soaring Hawks 2018 draft document is attached for your review. We will discuss at board meeting and next SSC meeting. I am also attaching the draft 2018 campaign giving levels and form.

3. OPERATION SHARED FACILITIES USE - I won't go into a long story in this email bulletin, but we continue to be at odds with LAUSD over the Prop 39 final offer made by the district. Upon advice of legal counsel, NVMI will occupy all of the shared use sapces to which we are legally entitled until such time as the district agrees to an alternative agreement or we lose our batte in arbitration. To that end, a number of people are being asked to see me Monday for an explanation of their role in using those shared facilities. If your name appears on this list, you are being asked to "occupy" a shared use space for one or more periods of time during the day beginning TUESDAY, so please plan to attend a meeting at 0755 (no more than 5 min) at the flag pole at formation MONDAY so you can be briefed.

Laura will coordinate all coverage and publish an allstaff email with the details about coverage so everyone knows what is happening.

5. AFTER SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL COVERAGE FOR THIS WEEK: If you are interested in a little bit of extra money and would like to make $40/day for helping out with after school middle school chaos (I mean supervision) from 3:30-5:00, please email JayR ASAP.

6. BREAKFAST AND LUNCH TICKETS AND BIC/LUNCH/SSR PROTOCOL FOR MONDAY ONLY: Here are some protocols for breakfast and lunch for MONDAY ONLY we need to be sure are implemented. Some are new and some are old.

o The Cadet S8 needs to get the meal cards from the cafeteria and/or Ceci in the main office and distribute them to platoon leaders during am formaton.

o Platoon leaders distribute to students at formation.o HS students when dismissed go through the line and proceed quickly to their LOC classrooms to eat

breakfast. o Cadet MPs will help encourage students in HS to move along to class quickly.o Middle School students go to their assigned seats in the covered eating area and wait until high school

students have passed through the line, then are directed by Julio/JayR to proceed through the line.o They eat breakfast in about 5 min, throw all trash away, and proceed to PE classes when directed. PE

teachers need to help supervise this process and get kids into PE class ASAP.o Julio/JayR must get all leftover cards to Ceci in the main office ASAP.o Ceci will get cards back from cafeteria and have cadets in period 4 help sort them by platoon. o Jon/JayR get cards prior to lunch start and give HS cards to John Wells for distribution in big gym and

distribute MS cards to MS platoon leaders for distribution to their memberso Julio and JayR direct MS students to lunch after cards are distributed.o HS students go to big gym and do SSR under direction of John Wells for first half of lunch. o Cadet leaders distribute cards during SSR to HS students.o HS students go through line once dismissed from SSR and go to quad area to sit for lunch (no assigned

areas for HS lunch - this is a new HS privilege).o MS students do SSR under direction of MAJ Wells at assigned tables where they ate.o FOR NOW - if any student for some reason is missing a card, they can ge another student's card. BUT

PLEASE WRITE DOWN THEIR NAME IMMEDIATELY AND GIVE IT TO CECI to be sure she makes replacement cards for them.

7. BREAKFAST AND LUNCH TICKETS AND BIC/LUNCH/SSR PROTOCOL FOR TUESDAY AND BEYOND (I THINK AND HOPE) Here are some protocols for breakfast and lunch for TUESDAY AND BEYOND we need to be sure are implemented.

o The Cadet S8 needs to get the meal cards from the cafeteria and/or Ceci in the main office and distribute them to MIDDLE SCHOOL MS platoon leaders during am formaton.

o Platoon leaders distribute to students at formation.o TWO SELECT HS STUDENTS FROM EACH LOC CLASS need to be assigned to go to the faculty cafeteria to

pick up their BIC rolling carts; the rest of the students, when dismissed from formation, go quickly to their LOC classrooms to eat breakfast.

o Cadet MPs will help encourage students in HS to move along to class quickly.o Middle School students go to their assigned seats in the covered eating area, then are directed by

Julio/JayR to proceed through the line.o They eat breakfast in about 5 min, throw all trash away, and proceed to PE classes when directed. PE

teachers need to help supervise this process and get kids into PE class ASAP.o Julio/JayR must get all leftover cards to Ceci in the main office ASAP.o Ceci will get cards back from cafeteria and have cadets in period 4 help sort them by platoon. o Jon/JayR get cards prior to lunch start and give HS cards to John Wells for distribution in big gym and

distribute MS cards to MS platoon leaders for distribution to their memberso HS students go to big gym and do SSR under direction of MAJ Wells.o HS leaders distribute meal cards during SSR. o Julio and JayR direct MS students to lunch after cards are distributed.o FOR NOW - if a student for some reason is missing a card, they can ge another student's card. BUT

PLEASE WRITE DOWN THEIR NAME MONDAY AND GIVE IT TO CECI to be sure she make replacement cards for them.

o HS students go through line after SSR is over and proceed to quad area to sit. No assigned seats in quad for HS (this is a "new" HS privilege).

Week of August 21, 2017I try very hard to avoid sending allstaff emails during the week, and I also try to ask the office staff not to interrupt classes with PAs and phone calls and emails during the week unless absolutely necessary. My intent is to synthesize as much as possible into the Staff Bulletin so that you have less to read, and can focus more on this document. I expect everyone on staff to read the entire document, absorb its content, and act on it as necessary.

REMINDERS AND NEWS:

1) I have fine sandpaper and large white mailing labels that can be used to repair class sets of textbooks that have graffiti and other writing on them. This Wednesday, we do not have a scheduled meeting. I would like to send teams of detention students into your classrooms to help you with repairing these class sets of texts. There are basically two things that need to happen. Step 1 is to use the fine sandpaper to sand off the top, bottom, and side paper spines of the books (not the hard cover spine portion but the portion kids have tagged). This takes some elbow grease, but it will remove the graffiti. Step 2 is to use the large white mailing labels to cover up any inside covers (front or back) that have tagging on them. This includes pages facing the inside hsrd covers. I can explain this further if it does not make sense. If you have class sets of books that need to be repaired in this way, please send me an individual email with approximately how many students you would like me to send you for detention this Wednesday to accomplish this important task. I HATE GRAFITTI, especially on books and desks. So kids this week can spend time repairing books (and potentially cleaning desks if they already have tagging on them) and hopefully this will encourage them to encourage their classmates not to tag books or desks.

2) BIC - Theoretically, beginning Monday, we will have BIC the way we had it last year. Each classroom will get a rolling bag of breakfasts period 1 (PE or LOC) and the teachers will have to record which students take a full compliant breakfast. A compliant breakfast consists of a minimum of three items, at least one of which must be a fruit juice or piece of fruit. Students may take more than 3 items (as many as they want). And students may use a "share table" to return items they do not wish to eat (these may be consumed by other students who would like seconds). It is possible the cafeteria management will change their minds about this between now and breakfast Monday. I have emailed management multiple times, and not heard a definitive answer yet.

3) Please be sure everyone WALKS THEIR SEVENTH PERIOD CLASS to PM formation quickly upon the ringing of the bell that ends period 7. We have a lot of stragglers, kids pushing and shoving, and many classrooms not walking their students to PM formation.

4) Students are expected to do one of three things at 3:30 dismissal ---- A ) GO HOME B) Go to athletics and report to a coach or C) Go to YPI. Those are the only allowable options. If a student needs to take a test or do something for LOC or or or, they must have a note signed under ACADEMIC SUPPORT in their planner from the adult they plan to see. They must FIRST CHECK IN WITH THEIR COACH OR YPI ACTIVITY LEADER who will sign their planner sending them to the other adult who has previously marked under Academic Support that they wish to see that child after school. The student must have a signed planner to move around campus without an adult after school. Once a child is done with their business, they must have the signed planner to return to athletics or YPI. NO EXCEPTIONS. This includes cadet leaders dealing with LOC business, etc. Accountability is the responsibility of the coach or YPI activity leader, and the student must have a signed planner when on

12

campus after school if not in the direct presence and supervision of an adult. Please email me any questions about this.

5) BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT is Wednesday from 5-7. Each department should have (or needs to) develop a plan for what they will do in their assigned "station" during that time. Try to make it fun for the whole family. The map was sent out last week of where to set up. If you have questions, please email me. Kay will give every station a stamp to stamp passports. Do whatever you can to bribe kids to show up Wednesday with their parents. REMIND THEM THERE IS NO BUS TRANSPORTATION HOME THIS WEDNESDAY so their parents must come pick them up.

6) Remember to email absence@novamil.org as soon as you know you will be absent. Include your direct supervisor in the cc line. Don't include details about why you will be absent. That is confidential and this email includes many people, so unless you want everyone to know the reason for your absence, keep that to yourself and only notify your direct supervisor of the reason if appropriate. Also include any details about your lesson plans AND IF YOU NEED COVERAGE for things like supervision, period 1 or 7 LOC or PE, push in services, an SSC, a parent meeting, or other additional duty.

7) LCAP GOALS (From Trish and the SSC): NVMI has goals that have been set for our LCAP (Local Control Accountability Plan).  Each week we will share a new goal with you and remind everyone of our goals after we’ve seen all 6.  Below is Goal #1.  This goal is about testing.  Our goal is for students to improve test scores from last year.  If you would like to know any more details about this goal, please feel free to ask Dr. Ryan, Ms. Stribling, or Chief Doering and we will be happy to help.

Goal #1

Increase CAASPP scores in English and math so that:

at least 85% of students meet or exceed standards (levels 3 or 4) after three or more years of enrollment at NVMI

100% of students scoring at level one (standard not met) will advance to at least level 2 (standard nearly met) after one year of enrollment at NVMI and at least 85% of students scoring at level 2 will advance to level three (standard met) after one year of enrollment at NVMI

at least 65% of students in their first year of NVMI enrollment will score at level 2 or higher

8) PROGRESS REPORT 1A goes home this Friday for all classes. Diane will take care of sending a PDF of the reports to Ceci for printing, and these will get printed by the office and distributed during PERIOD 1 LOC or PE. In other words, teachers do not have to worry about printing the reports. Kids should have them already when they show up to you. That means teachers' grade books have to be up to date by Thursday night so the correct info is pulled for reports. IF you make changes Friday, they do not get reflected in the printed progress reports. Progress reports SIGNATURES must be recorded on page 194 of the planner. Signed copies of the reports are NOT returned. Parents should sign p 194 for each report received and teachers should check that page of the planner for signatures.

13

9) DRILL ACADEMY will be taking place Saturday, September 16 from 0700-1900 here on the NVMI campus. The cost will be $10 or 100 merits which includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All 6th graders are strongly encouraged to attend. Anyone new to NVMI is also encouraged to attend. Our cadet staff is doing great work planning this event. There will be THREE courses of study. First time cadets must attend basic training which will include both squad and platoon without arms training. There will also be an ARMED squad/platoon training track and a COLOR GUARD/FLAG DETAIL training track. All participants earn the Drill Academy Participation Ribbon. Cadets whose teams win various performances have the chance to earn other ribbons. Permission slips will be available later this week from TAC teams, and are due with the 100 merits or monies to the INSPECTION GATE S8 before school each morning until the deadline of Tuesday, September 12. Staff should encourage all new NVMI pledges/candidates to attend, especially grade 6. But also encourage others who have not previously attended a drill academy or who would like to learn armed drill or flag detail/color guard operations to attend.

10) Fire Drill: It is on the SVHS calendar for 0920. I have told them this is during the eclipse, and I believe they will be moving it, but I cannot say for sure. Be prepared to have your backpack and clipboard with current class lists for all classes.

11) ECLIPSE: Most of you are doing the live stream TV version of the eclipse. For the few of you taking kids out, be sure you have signed permission slips (I sent those out earlier today via email) for any kids who go out with you. No slip - no going out. Supervise and ensure kids are reminded not to look directly at the sun. ACTIVE SUPERVISION is a must. If in doubt, stay in. If you have questions, email me.

REMINDERS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. Report time for almost all employees is 0745. Please be aware of your contracted time to arrive and be sure to sign in so we have accurate accountability of who is here.

2. The band will be rehearsing on MWF during periods 2,3,4,5, and 6. Carg will be writing in student planners if he is planning to pull out students. If a teacher has a concern about a student missing class, please email Carg directly (gcarganilla@novamil.org). He is trying to avoid pulling the same kid out of the same class consecutively, but he does need rehearsal time. He is also trying to avoid core academic subjects whenever possible. If you have questions about any of this, email me or Carg.

3. As you plan your lessons, please try to incorporate all four modes into each lesson whenever possible. Use board work and stand and deliver and group/team work whenever possible. We need to make sure that the notebook system is not simply a boring series of mindless entry copying.

4. Every classroom should have an emergency backpack, clipboard, and rosters of all students in that classroom any period. If you still have anything missing, please contact Julio or Kellie.

5. The Pass in Review scheduled for Monday, September 11 has been moved to Friday, September 22 at 1 PM. We will have a C schedule of classes that day followed by lunch, followed by the Pass in Review at 1300 followed by a concert with the US Army Band in the Large Gym. Please do not tell students about the C schedule. You know this for planning purposes, but if kids know in advance they will try to get out of Pass in Review by checking out of school early.

6. NVMI recently signed a wonderful articulation agreement with Norwich Military University in Virginia that grants our students guaranteed admission providing they meet certain requirements in each of the NVMI four pillars. Norwich will be coming on the morning of Wednesday, October 4 to visit NVMI and meet with Jay R, Kriscia, Omar, Karla, Gina, Trish, Laura, and I, along with our juniors and seniors to learn about their programs.

7. Excessive heat is forecast all week. We will use indoor spaces for PE and after school as needed. Please remind students (and yourself and your colleagues about the importance of hydration.

8. We will be implementing a new scanner system starting Monday at the inspection gate AND at breakfast and lunch. I will need to conduct training of milstaff at 0630 with their laptops and tables already set up at the inspection gate so they can learn how to do the scanning. We will also need cadet brigade staff to come to training period 1 for breakfast and lunch scanning in the cafeteria.

9. Friday and Monday are days off. Enjoy some self-care.

Week of September 11, 2017From Trish: Professional Development for this year

In 2017-2018 we will have 3 main focus areas for PD:

1. Technology (namely the Promethean boards)2. Improving Scantron (and therein SBAC) test scores3. EL Strategies (and therein improved learning for all)

Throughout the months, we will alternate the topics we cover so that we are never inundated with too much of any 1 thing.

These topics will be covered in faculty, department, grade-level, and curriculum meetings. We will also be having several half- day PD sessions in which we will all get to learn more about these areas.

Wednesday, September 13 Agenda:

30-minute collective: 5 School wide EL Non-negotiables

We will meet as an entire staff to discuss these 5 key elements

After the 30 minutes, we will break up into Departments to discuss the following:

How will our department implement the 5NNs? Student work review--work sample calibration

Bring samples of student work with you to work with your department on ensuring that everyone is grading within a similar range

Curriculum Map updates/pacing/check ins--where is everyone at? Are we all on the same page?

These meetings are meant to help us improve professionally, share best practices with each other, and support each other through struggles. They are positive places to learn and work as an NVMI team. ALL staff are welcome and encouraged to participate--coaching and security staff, push-in/MilStaff, office personnel, SpEd specialists--everyone!

Last but never least: Your ideas are needed. Your ideas are welcome. Your ideas matter. PLEASE feel free to share any ideas you have for PDs, any best practices you find are working, any suggestions you would like the staff to share in. I'm happy to address them, work with you, bring bigger and better thoughts into our process.

Let's have a positive, productive week!

Week of September 18, 2017REMINDERS AND NEWS:

1) We welcome Specialist Chris Franco (yes he is the older brother of Leo Franco) who is a NOVA graduate and current member of the CA National Guard. He replaces Tyler Perez, who will now be doing after school coaching and 7th period PE. He will be taking the push in services Tyler was performing with the 9th-grade honors section.

2) Only 194 out of 617 students are currently passing all classes. That is obviously an abysmal number. Please continue to do everything you can to provide support so that more students pass. Encourage. Cajole. Stress. Motivate. Inspire. Etc.

3) Special schedule Friday. We are NOT advertising this to students, but there will be a C schedule of classes Friday, followed by lunch, followed by the Pass in Review at 1300 and a band concert with the US Army band at 1400 in the large gym. We do not tell students about the special C schedule of classes in advance because lots will choose to have their parents come pick them up and avoid the Pass in Review.

Week of September 25, 2017REMINDERS AND NEWS:

1) Cadet of the month nominations are due to Mark by Wednesday 5PM. Just send Mark an email with a sentence explaining why the cadet deserves recognition based on excellence or improvement in one or more of NVMI's four pillars.

2) I put into the Hawk Weekly an important article about emergency procedures. It might be worth going over if you have five minutes of class time available. It describes not only the procedures in a classroom, but also in the bathroom, gym, covered eating area, field, etc.

3) We welcome Tiffany Hernandez to our safety team. Tiffany brings experience as a campus aide previously to her role at NVMI.

4) Reminder that students still wearing the pledge uniform must now be encouraged to get their test passed even more than ever. They must eat lunch last after cadets have eaten. They must stand behind formations. They must stand at the back of all lines.

Week of October 9, 2017REMINDERS AND NEWS:

COVERAGE SCHEDULE:

This is the coverage schedule when people are absent.

STUDENT LED CONFERENCES are this Wednesday from 4-6 pm. There is normal bus service to school that day, but we will not have bus service home that day, so please be sure you come to student led conferences to pick up your child and meet with them about their grades. You will receive printed report cards at this event. These conferences are run by your child; they share some of their work and explain why they earned the grades they earned. In addition, they share how they (and you) can maintain or improve their grades for the coming quarter and semester. More than 95% of the time, this works beautifully, and parents feel like they understand why their child earned the grades and what the child and parent can do to maintain or improve the grades. However, teachers will have sign up lists in case parents would still like to schedule separate parent/teacher conferences.

28

IMPORTANT SCHEDULE CHANGE – This THURSDAY, we will have a 12:00 dismissal day INSTEAD of Friday. Friday will be a regular schedule. THURSDAY – buses will depart at NOON. Friday, buses will depart at 5PM as usual. There is no lunch or supper served Thursday. Lunch and supper are both served Friday as usual. This change was necessary to accommodate the home football game Friday.

JOG-A-THON – Have your students all gotten at least $25 in pledges for the jog-a-thon coming up? If so, awesome. If not, please encourage them to do so quickly. Sponsors can pledge a PER LAP donation or flat donations regardless of how many laps you jog/walk. Forms were distributed in formation, but are also included in the Hawk Weekly.

VETERANS DAY PASS IN REVIEW AND HONOR WALL – Please review the invitation and information about the Veterans Day Pass in Review and Honor Wall in the Hawk Weekly.

MISSION COLLEGE CLASSES – We are offering the following Mission College classes for winter and spring sessions. If you are interested, please sign up with Ms. Tejada in the College and Career Center or send Dr. Ryan an email. Note that all classes are COLLEGE classes, so you must be able to read and write at a high level. Students in ALL GRADES may participate, but if you are not reading and writing at high levels, it is not advisable for you to enroll in the community college courses.

WINTER – Theatre 100 (Intro to the Theatre) and Health 11 (Principles of Healthy Living) – Both are three semester units and will be HYBRID classes - mostly online with a few face to face meetings. Students will need a working computer to take the courses. Classes will last FIVE WEEKS ONLY beginning the last week of Winter Break – January 2, 2018.

SPRING – We will offer English 101 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 0800-0930. Students taking this course will be excused from LOC assignments those two days because they will miss their period 1 LOC classes on those days. We will also offer HYBRID courses of Anthropology 101 (Human Biological Evolution) and Political Science 1 (Government of the US). These classes are also mostly online with a few face to face meetings after school. Classes go from the second week in February through the first week in June (one week AFTER NVMI gets out of school).

In addition to these hybrid courses during the spring, we will offer Sociology 1 and Child Psychology as face to face classes two days a week from 0745-0915.

UPCOMING IMPORTANT DATES:

Wednesday, October 13, 4-6PM – STUDENT LED CONFERENCES are this Wednesday from 4-6 pm. There is normal bus service to school that day, but we will not have bus service home that day, so please be sure you come to student led conferences to pick up your child and meet with them about their grades. You will receive printed report cards at this event. These conferences are run by your child; they share some of their work and explain why they earned the grades they earned.

to maintain or improve the grades. However, teachers will have sign up lists in case parents would still like to schedule separate parent/teacher conferences.

October 12 - THURSDAY – 12:00 Dismissal Day – notice this was changed from Friday to Thursday. There is no lunch or supper served Thursday. Buses will depart campus at noon.

October 13 – Regular schedule (originally C Schedule). Buses depart at 5PM as usual. Lunch and supper served as usual.

October 14 (Saturday) – TWO Parades – Los Angeles Korean Festival Parade and Montebello Parade. Cadets interested in participating should ask their TAC Teams for information. We will have a color guard, armed and unarmed drill teams, and marching unit; and our band will perform.

October 17 – Jog – a- Thon at 0800

October 18 – Student PHOTO day. All students will take their school portraits during these class periods –

Students will wear their nicest uniform (if they have a Class A, wear class A, if they have a class B, wear Class B – pledges wear pledge uniforms and will have a chance to take makeup portraits later in the semester.

October 19 – Great California Shakeout Earthquake Drill will occur at 1020 hours (10:20 AM). We are encouraging parents to help us test out our student request and release plan. This is the info that went out in the Hawk Weekly - If possible, please imagine you feel a large earthquake at 1020 a.m. and if you are able, come pick up your child. Don’t be here at 1020 because, in a real earthquake, you would not know in advance that the earthquake was going to occur! Instead, drop what you are doing at 1020 and come to the gate along Allegheny and help us test our student request and release system. Be patient, as it will take some time to get your child requested and released using our verification system. This is an important opportunity for you as a parent to see how the system works and for us as a school to test our systems implementation. We will dismiss school that day at noon and have buses depart at noon, so if you cannot make it to pick up your child, we will still have buses. We will also still run after school programming until 6:30 p.m. for families who need their children to stay after school, and we will serve students participating in the after school program both free lunch and free supper. If you have questions about the plan for that day, please email me at mryan@novamil.org. Thank you in advance for “playing along” with our practice drill that is so important as we plan for the eventual large scale earthquake the experts tell us is inevitable.

REMINDERS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. The assembly schedule originally listed for Monday has been canceled. We will do a longer announcement in AM formation regarding the chocolate sale.

2. The chocolate sale begins Monday and run through the day we leave for Thanksgiving. Students may NOT sell chocolate on campus. They should not bring their chocolate cases on campus. Chocolate is distributed after school from my office only and should be taken home immediately that day.

3. Tuesday during ENGLISH classes, please have students complete a Veterans Day drawing and thank you note. Since classes are all only 25 min, that should be a good, productive thing for them to do in your classes that day. All students will receive a form in their platoon at AM formation Tuesday which they can complete in their English classes. The concept is they write a thank you note to veterans and draw a picture to accompany their note. The winners of a contest to judge the best of these will go into the Pass in Review program.

4. This Wednesday, LAUSD will be publishing the agenda for its November 7 board meeting at which NVMI will be recommended for denial of its charter renewal. We will discuss this further at the SSC meeting Wednesday, but if you have any questions about it, please email me or come see me. (Mark)

5. Karla will be publishing more information about the plan she and her team are devising. In the interim, know that we will be discussing this at Tuesday's faculty meeting.

6. I have had to deal with an inordinate number of parent complaints about some teacher and student behaviors recently. I would ask you to do/not do the following:

Never punish an entire class for the misbehavior of some. Don't make an entire class walk back outside and waste class time if everyone is not lined up properly. Don't say things like, "I quit - I can't take you, kids, anymore." Some students, unfortunately, feel empowered by

such comments. If a child reports bullying to you, please send them to the student services office to make a written report.

37

If you feel like a child really needs to be sent out of the room because they are too disruptive to the learning environment, please follow the correct protocol.

If you need help from an administrator, text Gina or Karla or Omar or Mark or ask a campus safety person to go get one of us.

Be cautious about comments you make about students in broad generalizations -- "you are all bad kids" or "I hate you all" or "Your parents didn't teach you how to behave" are all inflammatory and will certainly result in more trouble for you.

Week of December 4, 2017REMINDERS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

1) The plan for Finals Week isMONDAY - regular A ScheduleTUESDAY - F schedule period 2 then period 3WEDNESDAY - F Schedule period 4 then period 5THURSDAY - F Schedule MS period 6 and HS LOC followed by HS Period 6 and MS LOCFRIDAY - F schedule with three different PE activities (Squad/platoon drill, Obstacle course activities, and Basketball skills activity). Each company will be at one activity each of about 65-70 min followed by a 5-10 min break and rotation. 1SG Martin is running the drill activity, COL Morder runs the O-course, and CPT Theodore runs the BB.) We will need help from teachers and all other staff at these activities. Please sign up with one of the three adults listed above if you would like to help them. We need everyone to sign up for ONE of these to help.

2) We will be having visitors to VIPs and donors in the coming weeks and months. Some reminders -*Be outside during passing periods to help greet students, keep them from getting into trouble, and get them into class quickly *Be sure your class leaders know to greet any visitors (not me) I come into classrooms with whom they do not recognize. The class leaders should shake hands, look the visitor(s) in the eyes, introduce themselves, tell what class this is, tell them what is being studied today, and take the visitors on a tour of classroom bulletin board displays and student work. Visitors want to see active classrooms doing one or more of the four NVMI modes.

3) Stay tuned for a more detailed memo from Laura- but for all of the second semester, we will be doing targeted SBAC test prep activities. You can count on at least 30 min a week per course devoted to specific activities which will be centrally directed. They will include such things as "starters/bell work," RACER paragraphs, going through a released question together as a class, etc.

4) Stay tuned for info from Trish about our WASC and LCAP action plans with updates on what we have accomplished and must still accomplish moving forwards.

5) Please look at the board meeting agenda when it comes out later today. Important discussions will be taking place. I am happy to explain anything on the agenda you would like further explained.

6) In today's Hawk Weekly and at PM Formation, we will be announcing the departure of Sergeants Lara and Martin. Zak is pursuing full time college and John will be a full-time stay-at-home dad. We are very grateful for their many contributions and wish them well. There will clearly be many upset students this afternoon when this is announced, so if adults could be at PM formation to help any students who appear to need to talk to someone, that would be appreciated. We will not be replacing Zak and John for budget reasons at this point.

There is A LOT GOING ON THIS WEEK. Hopefully, you read the email I sent out earlier today to all students and parents and staff. This email has some detail in addition to that email, so please read it carefully and ask me if you have any questions. It would not surprise me if some small logistical detail slipped my mind, so don’t be afraid to ask questions or seek clarification.

ALPHA COMPANY COLOR WEEK

MONDAY – Here is the basic plan for Monday. BE FLEXIBLE. Depending on how some of these logistics play out, we may have to adjust fire.

1) At morning inspection, we will give demerits for males whose hair is not in compliance AND HAND THEM the following notice (which SFC Padilla will hopefully run off prior to Monday at 0645):

Your child’s hair is not in compliance. The standard for males is a Barber Clipper Size FOUR OR SMALLER on top and a Barber Clipper Size TWO OR SMALLER on the sides and back. Please be sure your son gets his hair cut before the Pass in Review this Thursday. He will continue to get a one point demerit today, tomorrow, and Wednesday until his hair meets the standard. If he comes Thursday with hair out of compliance, he will not be able to participate in the Pass in Review and will receive a failing grade for the Pass in Review (which counts as an LOC test grade).

El cabello de su hijo no está en conformidad. El estándar para los hombres es un Barber Clipper Size CUATRO O MÁS PEQUEÑO en la parte superior y un Barber Clipper Size DOS O MÁS PEQUEÑO en los lados y la espalda. Por favor, asegúrese de que su hijo se corte el cabello antes del Pase en el Pase de Revisión este jueves. Continuará obteniendo un punto de demérito hoy, mañana y miércoles hasta que su cabello cumpla con el estándar. Si llega el jueves con el pelo fuera de cumplimiento, no podrá participar en el Pase en Revisión y recibirá una calificación reprobatoria para el Pase en Revisión (que cuenta como una calificación de examen en la clase de LOC).

2) We will have AM formation as usual. 3) Immediately after formation, we will have all students go through the cafeteria lines to pick up their breakfasts. Students will proceed to the small gym with their breakfasts in hand and be seated by company as normal indoor formation would be situated. The cadet leadership needs to get trash cans into the gym to help with trash. 4) All adults are asked to help direct students to and through the breakfast lines and into the small gym and indoor SEATED formation. A special SURVEY (The Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey – ASEs) will be distributed to students along with a gold pencil. We will need adults at the gym entry doors to help with distribution of the surveys. Students will be asked to complete the survey while they eat breakfast. I will explain the survey to them. The S6 will need to get

45

the PA system set up at outdoor formation prior to the normal start time AND THEN QUICKLY MOVE THE PA into the small gym after formation concludes. Mark will also need help from the S6s getting the powerpoint and projector set up in the small gym for the assembly. 5) I will begin the assembly immediately after the surveys are complete. That should take no more than five to seven minutes. I will need help from adults collecting the surveys and golf pencils. Kellie and/or Ceci – I need five gross of golf pencils for Monday morning please. 6) The assembly will focus on my going over expectations for second semester for both students and adults. I am going to set a NO NONSENSE, TAKE NO PRISONERS type tone to start second semester. The assembly will focus on the 15 duties of an NVMI cadet and 15 duties of an NVMI adult. I expect all adults to be present in the assembly. We will close the offices down. Once person at the gate will direct tardy students to the small gym and record the student ID numbers of all latecomers. We will take attendance initially based on the leftover class schedules. I will need Ms. Tejada to get a crew of folks to help distribute class schedules to students at AM formation and then hand out schedules to latecomers as they enter the gym. Leftover schedules then go to Diana for attendance purposes and to distribute to later late comers. 7) The assembly will likely take about 45 minutes. It may bleed over into period 1. I apologize in advance. WE will follow the Extended Formation “G” Schedule and if that means we miss part of period one so be it. I apologize in advance. 8) We will go to period 1 after the assembly finishes. Note there is a new master schedule. Karla sent it out to everyone during winter break. Though you can see your schedule in Powerschool, you cannot see rosters yet. If you have questions about your schedule, please email Karla and Kriscia who managed that process. 9) I will be making a major effort to get into every classroom every day every period I am not teaching or involved in some critical meeting to INPSECT WHAT I EXPECT as communicated in the Monday morning assembly.10) Be sure you print revised emergency rosters for all classes in your classroom and put them on the emergency clipboard TODAY.11) Kellie and Mark will NOT have their standing meeting today as Mark prepares for the assembly. Karla and Mark will also not have their standing meeting today.

TUESDAY*This will be a C schedule of classes with 12:00 dismissal.*LOC will do Pass in Review practices during their LOC class periods in addition to PE doing Pass in Review practices during the PE periods.*Buses depart at noon.*It is possible I will not get through all of the assembly content Monday so I may end up deciding to have some assembly Tuesday during one or more periods. I will keep you posted. I am hopeful this is not necessary. But stay tuned. *1230 a bus will depart for the LACOE board meeting. We need staff who are willing to go and show their support. The bus will return by about 6:30 p.m. School lunch will be provided for those who participate. No dinner is provided. Please RSVP to me by COB Monday so I know who will be attending the meeting to support charter renewal.*After school programming will run until 6:30 p.m. as usual for those who need it. Regular lunch and supper will be provided to those students.*English classes today will need to ask students to write letters of support to the Los Angeles County Board of Education for the charter renewal. Please plan to have this as your English activity for the short period.*Kay R and Mark meet at 0700.

WEDNESDAY – *B Schedule*Trish meets Mark at 0645*Gina meets Mark 0700*No SSC meeting as originally scheduled.*No detention this week*We will do FOUR PILLARS CONFERENCES from 2-6 pm. This will replace Student Led Conferences. Here are the duty assignments for these conferences:

2. All teams for all pillars--please find a time to meet BEFORE Wednesday to ensure that you are all clear on what you need to do that afternoon. Doing this will avoid any mandatory meetings during our lunch times! If you have questions--ask BEFORE the conferences!! Reach out to Mark or myself if you're unsure of what you're team is doing or if anything is unclear.

3. Mark will provide documents needed for kids to see (high school requirements, etc).4. If you are on an ACADEMIC team: please have-

a. -highlighters (pink, green, yellow as per instructions)b. a clipboard for notes such as: planner pg 139 has HS grad requirementsc.

Week of January 15, 2018KUDOS: to our amazing governing board and admin team for their exceptional performance at the Capacity interview for the Los Angeles County Office of Education. They all really did "knock it out of the park" by effectively and powerfully answering several hours of questions posed by LACOE staff. The rest of the staff should be very grateful both to our board and admin team. They are awesome.

REMINDERS:

1. Thank you for preparing for our visitors last week. Basically, they were impressed, BUT there remain a number of things we need to improve upon. Here is a list of some reminders I noticed during the walk throughs:

Be sure the laminated poster with agenda and objective and planner entries is posted and completely filled in for each of your classes.

Use the four classroom modes. A visitor should be able to tell which of the four modes you are in and ask a student and that student should be able to tell the visitor not only the mode but the behavior expectations during that mode.

Use the notebooks and be sure students are using them. They should be using a pencil in math (and science) and blue or black pen in other classes. They should be following the "ten commandments of notebooks" - neat, labeled with the date and entry number and title, horizontal line after each entry, representative of best effort, complete, etc.

When I enter a room with a visitor kids do not recognize, they should NOT stand up or greet the visitors. The class leader should greet the visitors by SHAKING HANDS FIRMLY, looking the visitors in the eye, introducing themselves, telling them the name of the class and what they are learning today, and taking them on a tour of the classroom bulletin boards, student work, etc.

Bulletin boards need to be updated with current student work. Students should have their HW written in the planners. A bunch of kids do not have planners and have BLANK

spaces all over their planners. NVMI spends almost $15,000 a year on planners. If we are not going to use them, we should not waste that money. I firmly believe the planner skill is critical for our students, but if some teachers will not enforce it, it is a waste of time and money. Replacement planners are available from the Hawk Exchange. There should NOT be any kids without planners on the NVMI Campus.

Classrooms floors should not have trash on them. Students should clearly be engaged in the lessons, not with their heads on desks, etc. I realize that sometimes,

there are exceptional circumstances that cause a kid to have to put their heads down, but that should be an exception and not the rule.

2. We have a vitally important visitor coming Thursday from 1100-1300 - a LACOE Board member. This is a make or break visit. It will likely be the single biggest factor in determining whether or not we are renewed and remain open for 18-19 and beyond. Please be sure the above are evident in your classroom. We may get other visitors this week unannounced, so be prepared for anything anytime.

3. For reference, the new company TAC assignments are as follows:Alpha - Chief Beth Morden and Specialist Chris FrancoBravo - Captain Russell Theodore and Staff Sergeant Johnny RodriguezCharlie - Captain Marco Abrego and Sergeant David PerezBrigade - Commandant Lieutenant Colonel Omar Solache and Senior NCO Sergeant First Class Johnny Padilla.

4. If you are willing to help with scholarship money for Camp Pendleton Summer Camp, please write a check to NVMI or pay cash and give it to Ms. Jackson. Thank you in advance. Please encourage your family and friends to help if possible.

58

5. If you are able to help during Camp Pendleton Summer Camp June 21-30, we can always use the adult help. If you are interested, ask one of the adults who went last year and let me know this month of your interest and availability.

Week of January 29, 2018REMINDERS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1) We really need all staff to consider contributing to the Annual Campaign - even if it is only $1. Foundations and others ask what percentage of staff and board members contribute, and it would be wonderful to have 100%. There is a form in your mailboxes for this purpose. Please consider giving and being generous.

2) Kids for Coins - I explained the Kids for Coins program at formation Friday. It is really very simple. There is a scratcher with 60 spaces to scratch off. Each oval under the scratch has a value between 50 cents and $3. Three dollars is the max. You go to a donor and ask them to support our school's program (band, sports, uniforms, bus transportation, Mission College classes, etc) and ask them to donate whatever amount they uncover when they scratch. The card totals $100 and NVMI makes $94 profit per card. We ask each staff member to consider doing at least one card each. See Ceci for cards.

We also ask everyone to help kids be encouraged to participate, especially if your name is on the following list of sponsors. Please ask/cajole/beg/implore/convince kids who fit these descriptions to do a card or two or three or four:

¶ Each sports team - COACHES¶ Bus riders - JULIO¶ Florida and Georgia cadets - DAVID PEREZ¶ After school program participants - YANESI¶ All with a uniform package - ALL TAC TEAMS AND JOEL¶ All with Class A coats - ALL TAC TEAMS AND JOEL¶ Mission College course takers - KRISCIA¶ Band program participants - CARG and ROD¶ Before school homework help - participants - YANET¶ Brigade staff members - LARRY ¶ Those who have received help with college admissions process - KRISCIA¶ Counseling service recipients - VANESSA and KRISCIA and KARLA and GINA¶ Breakfast and lunch recipients - TAC TEAMS and ALL 1st PERIOD TEACHERS¶ All who feel they have a caring NVMI staff member with whom they have a rapport and receive support - ALL

STAFF¶ Camp Pendleton Summer Camp attendees from last year and/or previous year - TAC TEAMS¶ Summer School attendees - KRISCIA and TRISH¶ Credit recovery participants - KRISCIA AND TRISH¶ Every day you have been absent and not done a contract - ALL TEACHERS and KRISCIA and TYSON and DIANA¶ Recipients of help from Cadet Medical Clinic - ALL CADET MEDICS and CECI and ISAIAH¶ Recipients of free notebooks and other school supplies - ALL TEACHERS

3) I was bombarded by angry and upset and concerned parents and kids when progress report grades went out Friday. TONS of kids had F grades wherein their teacher had entered ZERO assignments for the first three weeks. TONS had assignments with no grades entered for anyone. A number had proof they had emailed teachers assignments but teachers had not inputted grades. For those reasons, I canceled Saturday School until we can get evidence that everyone is caught up in grading. If you have issues with grade book access, please see Mila ASAP. Or email her or Diane for help. Whatever you do, please do not continue to have blank grade books or ungraded assignments.

Week of February 5, 2018REMINDERS AND NEWS:

1) We have 21 cases of chocolate left. If any staff member wants to purchase one for $40 and sell the $60 in chocolate and keep the $20 profit, please see Ceci and give her your $40 payment. Obviously, I am trying to get rid of the chocolate.

2) I am attaching a PPT from today's parent meeting. If you look at the PPT, you will see that we are still needing to balance the budget by either fundraising or cuts totaling $400,000. I emphasized the idea that we do not have to make any cuts if we can raise the money, but that will require everyone to chip in. I identify a listing of very unfortunate cuts that are being considered if we are unable to raise the $400,000 in fundraising efforts alone. You will notice there are massive personnel cuts included on that list. While teachers are obviously exempted because they are needed to perform the most critical thing we do, almost everyone else outside the classroom is a potential cut, including me. The key message here is that we need to get everyone to support the fundraising effort to ensure we do not have to make ANY of those cuts. But we need all staff to help, including in the ways I explain below.

3) We need help making calls to all families who did not attend the meetings today. I am looking for teachers and other staff who would be willing to a take a list of about 20-25 families and make a scripted phone call to go over fundraising requests we are making of all families (basically going over the attached powerpoint that was the basis for today's meetings). IF you are willing to help, please come into my office and write your name on the whiteboard sitting on the western wall of my office where it says STAFF WILLING TO MAKE FUNDRAISING CALLS TO FAMILIES. I will have a meeting with those folks for Thursday after school for about 15 min to go over the script and distribute the assigned families and phone numbers.

4) I emailed an invitation letter earlier today to all staff for the Mar 16 Pass in Review. Please work with your STRIKE TEAMS to identify people to whom this letter can be emailed or hand delivered. We desperately need to get potential donors to give or at least come to the PIR and be asked for donations there. Please try to make a personal effort to send as many as 100 of these invites out to friends, family, businesses you know, enemies 😊, etc.

5) We need people to support the annual campaign by giving as much as they are capable of giving.6) We need staff to help do Kids for Coins cards. If you missed the explanation of the cards, you can see it in the

attached PPT and ask in the main office or ask me.7) We need people to help with the March 3 Family Game Night. We need card dealers for blackjack, poker, and

roulette dealers. We need help with security, food sales, managing childcare of kids in the child care center, etc. Kay will get us a listing of exactly what personnel we need and where, but please try to plan to be here that day from 4-10 pm to help. We can raise as much as $25K or more at this single event (and avoid some budget cuts) if we all get behind this event.

8) We need all staff who work with kids on events like sports teams, band, counseling, drill teams, brigade staff, taking buses to/from school, eating breakfast and lunch, participating in before or after school programming, taking Mission College classes, doing credit recovery, etc to get those kids to do as many Kids for Coins cards as they possibly can.

9) Please be sure your website it up to date. I keep getting angry phone calls from parents about websites not being up to date with homework, classwork, etc.

10) If you have an AED in your workspace, please check the battery this week to ensure it is OK.11) Please update your emergency rosters on clipboards in your classrooms.12) This is BRAVO color week.13) If you do any extracurricular activities, please be sure you comply with our school eligibility policies. If you are

unsure whether a child is eligible, please see Coach S or me.14) LA Mission College online POLS class begins this week. If you interact with any kids taking this class, please remind

them of the face to face meeting each Thursday from 3:30-5 in the College and Career Center and encourage them to stay on top of their assignments.

63

15) SENDING KIDS OUT OF CLASS - I wanted to clarify the protocols for sending kids out of class. Though not comprehensive, here are my thoughts about this process. Please send me any questions or comments:

o If a child is disruptive enough that other students are prevented from learning and/or you are prevented from teaching, you can always send them to a buddy teacher if you would like and the buddy teacher is OK with that plan. They should go with work and a planner signed by you indicating when they left your room and where they are going.

o If a child's behavior warrants it, you have the option of sending them to their TAC Team. Please send them with work to accomplish if at all possible. If you do not send them with work, TACs will give them a written reflection task developed by SFC Padilla. There is a referral form provided by Ms. Wilson that in ideal circumstances you would use, but we realize filling out the form may be impractical given your particular situation or the challenges with that particular child or class. If possible, have a cadet leader or push in adult complete the form. If not possible, at least send them with a note in their planner to the effect of "to TAC for the remainder of the period" so TACs know they have not simply opted to leave class without permission.

o You can always send kids out with a cadet leader or a push in person who will escort them to their TACs.o Generally speaking, kids are NOT going to Student Services when sent out of the room. They are going to TACs,

which is what we decided when we pulled the trigger on plans A/B. If the child did something particularly egregious (drugs, alcohol, fighting, arson, etc.) they should go to Student Services, but they can always be sent to TACs who will get them to Student Services if their behavior warrants such a transition.

o Once you send a kid out, please try to divest yourself of the situation. Trust that TACs will handle the child and try not to stress over consequences. Focus on them being in a place where they are not distracting to you or their classmates and focus on quality teaching for the remaining students. If you have comments about a child's situation, want to recommend consequences, or want information about consequences, please send an email to the TAC team and Ms. Wilson so they can answer questions and follow up with you.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about these protocols.

I am looking for adults to monitor the credit recovery efforts in addition to YPI staff who will be helping. The credit recovery will not involve any lesson planning. It will only involve supervising students completing online or packet work and providing support, guidance, nudging, motivation, and academic tutoring. If you are interested in providing this support, it will pay $25/hour. Please notify me by email this week if you are interested in this role. You could do both Entrance camp in the morning and this work in the afternoon if interested.

in Sylmar from 1-4 p.m. if you are interested in helping, please email me ASAP.7. The following article is appearing in the Hawk Weekly regarding credit recovery options. It is provided for you to

help all adults understand the options available for students:

If your child failed a class in a previous school year or last semester, or if they fail a class in May, the following credit recovery options to make up failing grades will be available to them. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS – The cost of EACH COURSE to pay for the online course and teacher will be $150 per course. Unfortunately, NVMI cannot afford to offer these courses free of charge. Families unable to pay are encouraged to enroll in adult school/night school programs or other free high school credit recovery programs. * May 29 through June 29 from 0800-1200 Monday through Friday daily.* July 2 through August 3 from 0800-1600 Monday through Friday daily. MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS - The cost of EACH COURSE to pay for the online course or packet/book and teacher will be $50 per course. Unfortunately, NVMI cannot afford to offer these courses free of charge. Families unable to pay may opt to have the student complete 10 hours per course of school service during the summer in lieu of the $50 per course fee. * May 29 through June 29 from 0800-1200 Monday through Friday daily.* July 2 through August 3 from 0800-1600 Monday through Friday daily.

77

Week of April 9, 2018REMINDERS:1. Please be sure you are outside during passing periods and actively getting students into class immediately upon the

ringing of the tardy bell. Things are getting much, much worse in terms of how students ignore the tardy bell, and most of this can be attributed to our failure as adults to be outside getting students to come inside immediately. Remember that we are not expecting 100% perfection in terms of students standing at ATTENTION after the ringing of the tardy bell. Look for n 80% solution and get them inside quickly to start the starter activity you have on the board.

2. AED batteries need to be checked this week.3. Before school HW help happens all week in room 41 with Yanet.4. Alpha company color week all week.5. Please be on time for any individual contract/employment conference you signed up for with me for Monday or

Wednesday. If you did not sign up for a conference with me this Monday or Wednesday, I will not be available for conferences until early May, so you will have to wait until then. In the meantime, I will be operating under the assumption you did not sign up because you are not planning to return to NVMI.

6. I have only a handful of volunteers to help with summer entrance camp and/or credit recovery. If you did not sign up but are interested, please send me an email ASAP. Check last week's staff bulletin for info.
